Invalid Windows host credentials

I am running 10g at home using a free downloaded copy for Windows. Every time I enter my host credentials (for example, when doing backups) in Enterprise Manager, I get an invalid username/password error. This happens even with several installs. Is this because I am using an unlicensed copy? Or what could be the problem? thanks.

  • 11g EM for windows host credentials always fail verify

    Hi,
    I tried to enter the OS host credential in the 11g EM database control, but it always failed to verify or show invalid username or password. Anyone know how and what user name should I enter?
    Thanks

    Make sure that the OS user that you are setting up for Preferred Credentials has the Log on as a batch job privilege enabled.

    Hi,
    This error has been bugging me for sometime now and I can't find a straight forward answer anywhere, can you help?
    Oracle 11g on Windows XP SP2 Intel box.
    I am trying to export data and when I'm asked for the Host Credentials I get the error
    " ERROR Invalid username and or password "
    I have tried the following syntax for Username:
    <domain name>\Administrator
    <domain name.local>\Administrator

    I have gone through making sure that the local security policy settings are correct.

    I can connect via SQL Plus with no issues.

  • Enterprise Manager Host Credentials Problem on Windows Vista

    I have similar problem as discribed here before, but the difference is, that I am using Windows Vista and I have tried "Log as a batch job" and "Log as a service" privilleges. It does not help. I have Oracle Personal Edition 10.2.0.3 on Windows Vista. May there be some other security issues on Vista? The error message is not "Wrong password for user" but simply "Error" with no explanation. In addition to that, windows displayes error window which says "Oracle Enterprise Manager executable has stopped working" and there comes another window with detiled information like that:

    I have this exact same issue on Win server 2008. Not sure where to start.
    My backup jobs have started failing because the host credentials will not work.

  • Host credentials problem in Vista Basic

    Dear All,
    I am using Vista basic OS. I have installed Oracle 10g. I have to use import functionality to import the data. In order to use that in enterprise manager,It asks to enter Host credentials. I tried with DBA credentials, It gives invalid password error. I also tried to add ora_dba group,but unfortunately I cann't add in vista basic as it doesn't support adding Local security group snapin. So please help me how and where to add host credential in order to access import functionality in enterprise manager.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Sangamesh

    Helllo,
    As you already know Vista basic and home premium not supported but you can give a try by going to
    First create a user with a password (hope you can do this vista basic)
    control panel --> adminstrative tools--> look for local security policy (if it exists in vista basic) --> local policies and search for user assignments--> log on as a batch job , add your new user and apply changes. Then use this new user as host credentials.
    Regards

  • Host Credentials problem

    I am trying to 'Export to Export file' some individual schemas. I will take this information to a test/development server and import it there to work on.
    When prompted for the Host Credentials I have problems. I am logged on as the Administrator of the domain and I am using these same credentials here only I get one of 2 different error messages.
    1) When I use the credentials of
    Username: Administrator
    Password: admin_password
    I get
    -- Examine and correct the following errors, then retry the operation:
    Error - ERROR: Failed to create command process
    2) When I use the credentials of
    Username: DOMAIN/Administrator
    Password: admin_password
    I get
    -- Examine and correct the following errors, then retry the operation:
    Error - ERROR: Wrong password for user
    This is on Windows 2003 server.
    Any suggestions would be apprecitated.

    Ok. Could you check if the DBConsole Service is started as a Domain User or as a Local User.
    My guess is that yoiu are facing the same problem as this thread. Check the solution to it. If it is not the same, then let me know.
    DBconsole (on Windows) issues after changing to run as domain user

  • "Perform whole database Recovery" Host Credentials problem

    Hello,
    I have minimal knowledge of the Oracle database system but currently I need to recover a Oracle 10G database on a Windows Server 2003 Standard edition.
    Im trying to use the Oracle Enterprise Manager. Im logged into the instance with SYS as SYSDBA. On the Perform Recovery page there are fields for "Host Credentials" Could someone explain to me what credentials EM is asking for. Whatever account I try to use EM gives a Validation Error stating
    Error - Connection to host as user test failed: ERROR: Wrong password for user
    Ive tried both local and Active Directory accounts that have full admin rights on the Host machine. With the AD account I tried using just the user name and allso domain\username. The page asks for "To perform recovery, supply operating system login credentials to access the target database." which sounds like the account has to have both access to the host and the database. Does that mean I have to create an external account in the instance? I even tried that but im not sure I configured it properly.

    Well found the solution. Atleast to this problem. Had to give the account "Log on as batch job" rights under Local Policy -> User Rights Assignment

    You and the phone have a misunderstanding problem. It ain't getting what you're telling it or you're not telling it what it needs to get.
    You are mistyping now or you mistyped back when you set the password.

  • Default host credentials

    I have installed Oracle 10g R.D.B.M.S. on Windows XP -in a standalone PC.
    The problem is that i cannot define the default host credentials (host username,host password) because of the wrong password which is not true.
    I believe that the host username format i try is wrong .
    What format should the host username have?
    I have tried the following:
    - administrator host username (both in capital and lower letters),
    - <name of workgroup>\administrator host username (both in capital and lower letters).

    I executed the 'emctl status agent ' in the command prompt and I saw that there is no problem.The Agent is running and ready!!!
    Also , the url http://<host>:3938/emd/main is accessible.
    But , when I checked the emagent.trc , I found the problem which is simply that the host refuses the connection.
    I have inserted the last two lines of this files...
    ' (error = 10061)
    2006-03-05 16:14:00 Thread-3688 ERROR command: nmejcn: failed http connection to http://SK:1158/em/upload/: retStatus=-1

    2006-03-05 16:14:04 Thread-5688 WARN http: snmehl_connect: connect failed to (SK:1158): No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.'
    NOTE 'SK' IS THE HOSTNAME
    The url 'http://SK:1158/em/upload/' (which is defined in the section of emagent.trc) is unreachable but the url 'http://SK:5500/em/upload/' is reachable.
    How can I modify the port that the agent 'listens' from 1158 to 5500?
    Thanks,
    Simon.

    According to /work/app/oracle/10g/bin/nmo this is Unix/Linux, not Windows. I assume permission settings are wrong, did you run root.sh (in $ORACLE_HOME)at the end of installation? Check permissions for nmo and nmb, you should see something like

  • What host credentials must be given in local Instance ?

    Hi
    i have a 10g DB on my local system on Windows XP SP2.
    We have exchange.com domain in our comoany
    I am able to start EM, but cannot perform recovery unless
    i enter host credentials.
    I entered my username on exchange and the password but it doesn't work.
    my_username
    my_password
    i tried and entered
    EXCHANGE\my_username
    It didn't work either.
    What should be entered instead?
    Any idea?

  • Use of host credentials.

    Hi,
    Please can u educate me on the above named subject.Anytime i want to perform an action that requires the use of host credentials e.g.performing recovery or importing data,it brings out an unspecified error thereafter stopping the enterprise manager from working. Thanks.

    Hi,
    Any time you need to perform an operation over the OS, the OEM will request the Host Credentials (OS Username and password/e.g. user: Oracle, Password: xxxxx) to execute your request because when you connected to the web console you only enter the DB Username and password not the OS ones. That mean the OEM don't have the information necessary to connect to the OS to write something to disk, or execute something over the OS (Backup, recover,etc).
    If you are using linux/windows the hostname credentials should be the user who has installed the oracle 10g database software, if Windosw the user you are using need to be member of the ora_dba group and have Local Security privilege 'Log on as a batch job'.
    What you need to do is go to start----> Programs----> admin tools----> Local security policy --->local policies ---> user rights assignments
    In the list to your right, look for 'Log on as a batch job', double click and add the same OS local user you using to access OEM web to the group.I hope this answer your question. You can always say to the OEM to save your OS username and password, this way you are not going to be asked all the time.
    Cheers,

  • Dbconsole and host credentials

    Hi,
    I am running oracle 11gR2 on win server 2008.
    I have been using dbconsole to schedule a regular export job (logged in as system user) every 2 days. Its been working fine until yesterday when i changed the password for my active directory username (due to which i had to change the password for the same database host credentials)
    I have set the preferred credentials in the preferences tab to the new host credentials. yet the export job fails with invalid username/password.
    And also, when i click on the failed job and try to edit , it says this job does not require any credentials. Something is wrong..cant figure out what.
    Thanks for your assistance.

    yet the export job fails with invalid username/password.
    I think the passwords are are fine.Based upon top line above, it appears Oracle disagrees with you & I believe better reports reality than you do.
    Besides, you don't need to convince me of anything, only Oracle that all is OK.

  • How to delete target host credentials

    Hi,
    I have manually cloned a oracle 8i DB @ machine A to a 10g server @ machine B. It is working fine.
    After that I have configured OEM. But it is showing 2 target host credential shows both machine-A and machine-B.
    Whenever I try to login to the database via enterprise manager console@ machine-B, it chooses the machine-A' as the host credentials and fails to login.
    I wanna change/delete the machine-A host credentials from the machine-B. Pls advise me.

    Windows alone is not an OS,but a Microsoft marketing label.
    I have forgotton the admin passwordReinstall your Windows version or google for 'Windows password lost'. If your Windows installation is insecure (that's true for the most installations) you could be lucky.
